Back in Time for Dinner S01E05 - 1990s

Episode Overview

Giles Coren and Polly Russell guide the Robshaw family as they explore the culinary delights of the 1990s. As they step into the decade, the changes since 1990 become apparent—from John Gummer urging his daughter to sample a beef burger to the rise of massive out-of-town superstores and the emergence of Jamie Oliver. Initially, the family revels in the abundance of global food options but soon recognizes the drawbacks of the previous decades’ push for cheaper fare. Coren and Russell introduce them to popular 90s foods like bagged salads, cook-in sauces, organic vegetable boxes, and the gastro pub, while iconic TV personalities reminisce about how food and drink captured the decade's television landscape.
